Summer Shows in Chicago

[Slaky]

Crossroads this past Saturday was incredible. Minus Johnny Winter and BB King, which was a bit depressing. And Jimmie Vaughn, who isn't very good. But seeing all those legends in 1 day was a great experience. I got to see Hubert Sumlin live, that made the day alone. The Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Warren Hayes songs were so good. Finally seeing ZZ Top live made it for me. Still cool. Johnny Lang had the best solo, when dueling with Buddy Guy. Even the john mayer trio were outstanding, probably the tightest rhythm section all day, but you'd expect that with pino palladino playing bass. He played some hendrix covers, not your body is a wonderland crap. Jeff Beck is odd, but gets sounds out of a guitar I've never heard before, could have been the metal arm bands. Rhonda Smith is a monster on bass.

Am I the only one that thinks clapton is a bit boring and unpredictable? I thought his set, minus the steve winwood stuff, was drab and dragged out. All star jams with more than 3 people always suck, and this one was no different.

This concert made me feel really young. Will definitely go next year, Clapton hinted that they'd have another year.

Clapton is the worst. That 57 Chevy song piece of shit sealed it.

Am I the only one that thinks clapton is a bit boring...

Easy listening music for white Boomers who've given up cocaine.

Boring as dick.
But then, I only qualify for 2 out of 3 of the above.

Don't be hard on yourself, cocaine is a hard habit to kick.

Clapton sucks, yet "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is probably my favorite song.  What a conundrum!

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was written by George Harrison.

Conundrum solved!

I know, but it was Clapton's sweet guitar licks that made the song.

Clapton was good on cocaine.  When HE was on cocaine.

Listening to Clapton on the album he did with John Mayall will dissuade you from this notion.

Sorry, I should have qualified. I was only referring to solo clapton. Band clapton was good.

You mean you don't like the unplugged version of "Layla"?

eric clapton sucks
eric clapton sucks
eric clapton's gay
and he's fucking gay

your father's the 4th worst songwriter, after springsteen, seger and petty
you were sick of his gay fucking songs, so you jumped out a really high up window

you knew you'd get beaten up in school because your dad's songs sucked so bad
you were sick of hearing "you look wonderful tonight," so you jumped out a really high up window
sometimes i wish you didn't die because i hate that song "tears in heaven"
i was glad you died until he wrote that song
and kevin sharp is gay

[MAD]

I'd like to get on thie Eric Clapton hatewagon if there's room.  He sucks and I like a lot of shitty, old music.

That's awesome, but I'm pretty sure Clapton didn't even write "Tears in Heaven".  That's how much he sucks.  He couldn't even write his own sad song for his own dead child.
